Off topic but which Hindu god did/do you believe in? (Out of curiosity)

In response to the OP, if the person who's been wronged thinks the other person is a good person in general, then it's always a good idea to tell them why you're breaking contact. Speaking from experience, when someone completely cuts contact with you without any explanation, it's really confusing and potentially hurtful. Besides, they're then more likely to repeat the mistake if they don't know it was the reason why someone they liked completely broke contact with them.

Odin could make it work.  Compared to that pussy jesus, Odin is a tough hombre.

The one who has been wronged thinks: "If I told them what they did wrong, they'll ask me for forgiveness, which I really can't give them, even if they didn't meant to hurt me, even if they learn their lesson. I can't help but see their action as that bad. Why bother to talk to them in the first place if they'll end up asking for something impossible?"
The angry one does consider the other one a mostly good person, but can't help but remeber the action every time both of them meet.
So the upset one cuts contact (maybe not entirely) and the other one doesn't like it nor knows why.
What do you think should the one who has been wronged do?

Talk to that person anyway.  If they ask for forgiveness and you can't provide it, so be it.  But it is important to let them know what they've done and how much they've hurt you.  Don't let it fester.

Absolutely.

RE: When someone does something unforgivable
About 40 years ago when I was around 10 my friend wanted to borrow my bike. I said it’s in the garage BUT DON’T OPEN THE DOOR I’ll go in and get it for you. When I got to the garage he had for whatever fucking reason opened the door like I told him not to and my dog escaped. He didn’t mean to let my dog out and chased it for a long time. My dog got out sometimes and always came back but my friend chased him too far and he got lost and we never found him. I still don’t forgive my friend. And actually I dropped him as a friend because I felt like losing my dog was unforgivable. If I could’ve traded and had him not make it back but gotten my dog back I would’ve done it in a second. Fuck him.

I was a Shakta and followed the goddess Kali. I became an atheist in the last several years.

Never heard of Shaktas (ugh Hinduism is too... wide) but Kali is badass. Good choice.  Great
